Han, Fei (author), Zhang, Mengru (author), Li, Zhe (author), Liu, Zhe (author), Han, Yufei (author), Li, L. (author), Zhou, Weizhi (author)Marine microorganisms have an inherent advantage in the treatment of saline wastewater due to their halophilic properties. Ammonium assimilation is the most important and common nitrogen conversion pathway in the ocean, which means that it may be a suitable nitrogen removal strategy under high salinity conditions. However, the targeted...journal article 2023

Major, Márton (author), Daniilidis, Alexandros (author), Hansen, Thomas Mejer (author), Khait, M. (author), Voskov, D.V. (author)Focus is on comparing stochastic, process-based and deterministic methods for modelling heterogeneity in hydraulic properties of fluvial geothermal reservoirs. Models are considered a generalized representation of a fluvial sequence in the upper part of the Gassum Formation in northern Denmark. Two ensemble realizations of process-based and...journal article 2023

Owen, C.C. (author), Hendrikse, H. (author)The manual application of universal (Rigsby) stage techniques is commonly used to determine the fabric of thin sections of ice viewed with crossed-polarized light. This process can require hours of focus in cold conditions to identify the c-axis of each grain in a thin section. Automated ice texture and fabric methods of several forms exist...journal article 2023

Xu, Y. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Yang, M. (author), Yuan, S. (author), Chen, Chao (author)Domino accidents are typical low-frequency and high-consequence events in chemical process industries. Applying quantitative risk assessment (QRA) in domino accident assessment is challenging due to the uncertainties in the escalation process. Meanwhile, the outcomes of QRA are subject to a certain degree of unreliability due to the...journal article 2023

Morato, P. G. (author), Andriotis, C. (author), Papakonstantinou, K. G. (author), Rigo, P. (author)In the context of modern engineering, environmental, and societal concerns, there is an increasing demand for methods able to identify rational management strategies for civil engineering systems, minimizing structural failure risks while optimally planning inspection and maintenance (I&M) processes. Most available methods simplify the I...journal article 2023

Teixidó, Helena (author), Broggi, G.C. (author), Caglar, Baris (author), Michaud, Véronique (author)We propose a methodology to monitor the progressive saturation of a non-translucent unidirectional carbon fabric stack through its thickness by means of X-ray radiography and extract the dynamic saturation curves using image analysis. Four constant flow rate injections with increasing flow speed were carried out. These were simulated by a...journal article 2023

Papapantoleon, A. (author), Possamaï, Dylan (author), Saplaouras, Alexandros (author)In this paper, we obtain stability results for backward stochastic differential equations with jumps (BSDEs) in a very general framework. More specifically, we consider a convergent sequence of standard data, each associated to their own filtration, and we prove that the associated sequence of (unique) solutions is also convergent. The...journal article 2023

Staal, Jeroen (author), Smit, Edgar (author), Caglar, Baris (author), Michaud, Véronique (author)Radical induced cationic frontal polymerisation (RICFP) is considered a promising low energy method for processing of fibre reinforced polymers (FRPs). Optimisation of the local heat balance between reinforcement, epoxy resin and the surrounding mould is required to pave the way for its adaptation to an industrial processing method for high...journal article 2023

Liu, S. (author), Sinke, J. (author), Dransfeld, C.A. (author)The bias-extension test is one of the test methods to characterise the intra-ply shear behaviour of continuous fibre reinforced composites including fabrics and unidirectional (UD) materials. For the determination of the major mechanical properties of metals, often a uniaxial tensile test is used. Combination of these two methods for the...journal article 2023

Morawiec, Mateusz (author), Grajcar, Adam (author), Krawczyk, Jakub (author), Gronostajski, Zbigniew (author), Petrov, R.H. (author)The comparison of the dynamic mechanical behavior and microstructure of two medium manganese sheet steels (3Mn–Al and 5Mn–Al) alloyed with aluminum is aimed. Mechanical properties under dynamic tensile loads are determined by means of rotary hammer dynamic tests at strain rates of 250 and 1000 s<sup>−1</sup> and analyzed together with the...journal article 2023

Wang, Xiaoda (author), Zhao, Yuqing (author), Han, Lumin (author), Li, Ling (author), Kiss, A.A. (author)Cylcohexanol is an essential bulk chemical that can be produced via cyclohexene hydration, a liquid-liquid two-phase reaction that is limited by the low reaction rate and the equilibrium conversion. Adding an appropriate solvent is the most promising method to break through these limitations. However, in previous works the solvent was almost...journal article 2023

Ciszewski, M.G. (author), Söhl, J. (author), Jongbloed, G. (author)The past decade has seen an increased interest in human activity recognition based on sensor data. Most often, the sensor data come unannotated, creating the need for fast labelling methods. For assessing the quality of the labelling, an appropriate performance measure has to be chosen. Our main contribution is a novel post-processing method...journal article 2023
